口語參考答案：Hobbies and Leisure Time 愛好與余暇

Do you think having a hobby is good for people’s social life? In what way? 你認(rèn)為擁有愛好是否對(duì)人的社交生活有好處？哪方面？

Yes, I do. The way I see it, a hobby can help people enhance their friendship with others. People who share a common interest would be willing to interact with you more, and those who don’t would also be attracted by your hobby. You know, no one would resist the temptation of appreciating a good piano play or a beautiful oil painting done by you as your pastimes.

是的，在我看來，愛好能夠幫助人們促進(jìn)與他人的友誼。有相同興趣的人們會(huì)更愿意與你互動(dòng)，對(duì)于那些與你沒有共同興趣的人也能夠被你的愛好所吸引。消遣的時(shí)候，你彈出的漂亮鋼琴曲亦或是一副精美的油畫，恐怕沒有人能夠抵擋住誘惑不去欣賞一下。

Are there any negative effects of a person spending too much time on their hobby? What are they? 人們?cè)趷酆蒙匣ㄙM(fèi)太多時(shí)間有什么不好的影響嗎？有哪些不好的影響？

I think there are. The biggest consequence that I can think of is that it would affect their working or studying efficiency. This article is from Laokaoya website. If they put too much time into their hobby such as playing computer games or reading novels, chances are that the time left for their work or studies would be greatly shrunk, and thus it would be quite difficult for them to finish their main tasks on time.

有的。最大的后果就是這可能影響到他們的工作或者學(xué)習(xí)效率。如果他們花費(fèi)太多時(shí)間在諸如打游戲、看小說等愛好上面，那很有可能留給他們工作或者學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)間就會(huì)極大縮短，因此很難按時(shí)完成他們的任務(wù)。

Why do you think people need to have an interest or hobby? 你覺得人為什么得有興趣或者愛好？

Well, I think the main reason is that a hobby or something can help reduce their pressure from work/studies. You know, people need something to help them divert their attention from those headaches brought by their main job. And, hobbies like singing or playing basketball are ideal to solve that problem.

我認(rèn)為最主要的原因就是興趣愛好可以幫助他們降低來自工作或者學(xué)習(xí)上的壓力。他們的主職工作會(huì)留給他們一些頭疼的事情，所以人們需要一些東西來分散他們?cè)谶@方面的注意力，而諸如打籃球等興趣愛好就可以很好地解決這個(gè)問題。

Leisure time

In your country, how much time do people spend on work and how much time on leisure? Is this a good balance, do you think? 在你的國(guó)家，人們花費(fèi)在工作和休閑方面的時(shí)間有多少？你覺得這個(gè)時(shí)間的分配均衡嗎？

As far as I know, people in my country are commonly busy with their work. So, there is probably at least 80% of their time is spent on work, and only 20% or less is allocated to recreational or resting. I don’t think this is a good balance as too much energy spent on work would increase their risks of mental and physical illness, which is not healthy at all.

據(jù)我說知，我們國(guó)家擔(dān)任普遍都忙于他們的工作。所以，大概人們至少有八成的時(shí)間花在了工作方面，而只有20%乃至更低的時(shí)間被分配在了消遣或者休息方面。我不認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)很好的平衡。因?yàn)?，花費(fèi)太多精力在工作上會(huì)增加患心理或者身體疾病的危險(xiǎn)，這完全不健康。

Would you say the amount of free time has changed much in the last fifty years? 在近五十年來，你覺得空閑時(shí)間量有很大變化嗎？

Yes. I was told by my grandparents that several decades ago, people had a lot of free time to be with their family members after work. Nowadays, it’s quite common that people work 9 hours a day and even have only one day off per week. So, they barely have free time to have fun with others.

我爺爺奶奶曾經(jīng)告訴我，幾十年前的人們?cè)谙掳嘀笥泻芏鄷r(shí)間和家人待在一起。如今，人們一天工作九個(gè)小時(shí)特別常見，有的甚至一周只休息一天。所以，他們幾乎沒有業(yè)余時(shí)間與別人一起娛樂。

Do you think people will have more or less free time in the future? Why? 你認(rèn)為未來人們的空閑時(shí)間會(huì)越來越多還是越來越少？為什么？

Well, it’s true that technology has helped make industries to be more productive. However, I still think people will have less free time in the future. The main reason is that there’s more financial pressure on them due to various factors such as the economic downturn, and inflation. So, people have to work more to support their own lives and their families.

雖然科技幫助各個(gè)行業(yè)提升了產(chǎn)能。但是，我依然認(rèn)為人們?cè)谖磥硭鶕碛械目臻e時(shí)間會(huì)越來越少。這主要的原因就在于諸如經(jīng)濟(jì)下滑、通貨膨脹等各類因素所對(duì)他們產(chǎn)生的經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力。所以，人們不得不花費(fèi)更多時(shí)間在工作上面才能夠養(yǎng)家糊口。
